Hey everyone, good morning. It is October 2nd. You're listening to the Emo news podcast. I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts. We read all of the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. How is it October already. I know that is kind of a cliche thing to say, but really where does the time go. So it's officially pumpkin season college football season.

We are totally in the swing of fall. I hope everybody had a great weekend. As you could tell, Moche is still out. He is on paternity leave enjoying some quality time with his new daughter Olivia and his wife Alex. I did a face time with them this weekend. Everyone is doing great.

Olivia is delicious. She's so cute. I do have a couple of great guests lined up for this week, including Lauren Brody. She wrote the book the fifth trimester. I'm really excited to talk to her about the potential government shutdown.

And all things women in the workforce. So that is later this week for now, though, another solo show and tons of news to get to shutdown averted, but for how long and why Speaker Kevin McCarthy's job could be in jeopardy.

Plus today begins a new term on the Supreme Court. What cases they could be looking at also student loan payment resumes for 40 million Americans.

The ripple effects that that will have on the economy and Senator Diane fine sign of California dies at the age of 90 will look at her legacy and what happens to her seat.

Plus New York City drying out after severe flooding, but is the city ready for extreme weather. Nearly 30 years later, someone's been arrested for two pockets of course death.

What we know about him and why we are never ever ever going to stop talking about this Taylor Swift at MetLife Stadium to watch Travis Kelsey.

We've got the tea. Plus I'll have on this day in history.

All right, shut down averted by minutes. Literally it was a chaotic weekend in Washington. The government nearly shut down.

And as of this morning, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could lose his job. Here's how this all played out with 32 minutes to spare. Congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown by passing a stop gap or temporary funding bill at current spending levels before the clock struck midnight on Saturday.

On this vote, the age are 335, the days are 91, 2 thirds being in the affirmative. The rules are suspended. The bill is passed and with that objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.

At 1128 PM, the White House posted a photo, President Biden signing that bill to keep the government open. And again, because it's temporary, this measure will only fund the government for 45 days. So we get to do this all again right before Thanksgiving.

The President Biden urging Republicans not to wait until the 11th hour again.

Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired. I'm sick and tired of the bringsmanship and so are the American people. I've been doing this. You all point out to me a lot of long time. I've never quite seen a Republican Congress or any Congress act like this.

The House passed that bill at 245 PM on Saturday in a 335 to 91 vote. The Senate followed at 9 PM with a final vote of 88 to 9. The deal came after weeks of infighting amongst House Republicans over whether they even wanted to pass a stop gap bill in their chamber.

The final bill does include natural disaster aid, but no additional money for the Ukraine war or southern border security in a statement Biden said we cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted.

But McCarthy said any lawmakers looking for more Ukraine funding will have to give in on border security funding as well. Getting both parties in Congress to agree on anything is near impossible these days. So to get it done and keep the government open speaker Kevin McCarthy had to side with moderate Republicans and Democrats.

And that infuriated the far right hardline conservatives say that by working with Democrats McCarthy broke concessions that he had made to them when he was vying for their vote during his lengthy speaker vote back in January.

You might remember McCarthy had to make some pretty extreme promises to the far right when he was desperately trying to win the speaker ship. He actually went through 15 rounds of House votes before being elected speaker.

Now Republican Congressman Matt Gates of Florida. He is one of those far right Republicans who believes that McCarthy did not hold up his end of the bargain. Well, he says he's going to be bringing a vote to the floor to try to oust him from the House's top leadership position.

And yes, he could do that by himself. The measure is called a motion to vacate the chair. And ironically, the rule change that requires the backing of just one person to force the House to consider removing the speaker.
